oh idollive, stop it with this ridiculous spinning of these singles sales number, first week, for adam and kris. they stink, they are shockingly underwhelming, and no amount of backpedaling and hocus pocus and pulling out numbers and singles not even relevant to this week's billboards numbers is absurd...

it's pathethic to see the amount of journalists covering their butts now that the lies and hype has been exposed...allen and lambert's downloads are pathethic compared to the david's, and not befitting a winner and runner up... lambert's situation is even more pathetic, because he has been overhyped, overpimped, shoved down the throats of the public to a degree that it's become annoying... anyone with half a brain can see what you're doing here, and it's pathetic... just call it like it is - massive fail. you all will be laughingstocks for drinking the kool aid supplied by 19e and idol as long as you have. the public is speaking, and your spinning won't be able to hide the fact that what idol has tried to sell in lambert and allen, we don't want.

lambert is flopping big time, al the way around......

lambert is flopping big time, al the way around... and american idol, 19e, rca, and the kool aid drinking media and press are looking all kinds stupid right now. the hype and the numbers he's put up so far are woefully out of sync, the s7 david's are crushing him and allen in singles sales thus far. there is no spin to save the suck that was season 8, and the horrible numbers the winner, the runner up, and allison have put up... rca and idol have jumped the shark, and people are sick of the overpimping and blatant manipulations that went on this season... s8 was a joke, and it's being reflected in the response to these singers.

It should also be noted that viewership ratings for AI Season 2 were 38.1 million (the largest in Idol history) compared to AI Season 8's of 27.7 million (the second lowest - Season 1 was 22.5.

Guess Lambert wasn't has much as a draw as his fans would like to think.

Who's riding on whose coattails now??? haha. I think that the influence left by Ruben and Clay after season 2 was so vast that people actually wanted to see more of Idol.

In the beginning God made ADAM not ugly (Aiken). Adam has always been sophisticated not like other runner-ups!

Go Clay and Ruben. Adam, watch out buddy, you may be holding on to your own coattail. God don't like ugly.

Interesting. I guess there is some truth to the position that Adam is more loved by the media & TPTB at IDOL than by the general public. Clay & Ruben still undefeated every way you look at it (sales, ratings, media interest). There's is a season that will never be matched in terms of public adoration.

"ride my coattails" my rear end! Go Clay!

I don't think people are as invested as they were "back in the day".

With the invention of power voting devices, the 'hype' of 100 million voted is just that, HYPE.

I would think the cheaper price and instant download would make for higher #'s for the more recent crop.
